he joins us from washington d.c. i'm also joined by our favorite democratic strategist, donnie fowler. thanks donnie, thanks, is sahil for joining me inside "the war room." can harry reid bring those republican senators over to avoid a filibuster if not all of them? maybe some of them and which of the republicans is most likely to come over? >> it really depends on which issue. i think the bigger the issue the more hot button it is. if you take something like taxes or climate change or immigration, issues like that will be an uphill climb to win over any republicans. as i mention the article the most likely republican to cross over susan collins has a very strong incentive whose re-election prospects in 2014 will be helped by crossing the aisle. the others are mostly either republicans from relatively democratic site of states or republicans who don't have to watch the right flanks that strongly. >> jennifer: donnie, you're from south carolina. you know lindsey graham, he would be able to be persuaded. >> it was much
